Danvers Boys Headed Back to Division II North Final

The Falcons simply shut down Division II foe Belmont High Thursday night up in Lowell to launch themselves back into the sectional finals of baseball.

You can read more on the highlights from the game in the Salem News here, but suffice to say, junior Brandon Hyde recorded his second shutout of the playoffs with solid backup on fielding and batting to end nine with Danvers High ahead, 6-0.

This is Danvers' first time in the North Final in five years and it will be the third time the Falcons play Masconomet for the title, according to the Salem News. The Division II North Final will be back in Lowell at Lelachuer Field Sunday (1 p.m.)

Thus far in the tournament, Danvers blanked Tewksbury, 5-0, Reading, 7-6, in extra innings, and then Belmont, 6-0.
